The following acts and performers will be appearing at EQUITANA Open Air at Night 2012:
Uwe Weinzierl
For more than ten years now a natural approach to training horses has been a matter very close to Uwe Weinzierl's heart. Uwe introduces the basics of Natural Horsemanship in a way that everyone can grasp by explaining how horses communicate in an easy-to-understand manner. Uwe Weinzierl gets his horse Veloz to walk over plastic tarpaulins or wooden seesaws; he plays horse football with him and, to close, they gallop off into Veloz's horsebox. With charm and humour Uwe explains just why the rules of Natural Horsemanship are applicable for every single horse.
The "Madagaskar" youth quadrille team from RV Muelheim-Mintard
The "Madagaskar" youth team already managed to impress the audience at the Show Cup at EQUITANA 2011 in Essen with their costumes, choreography and amazing ground crew. The team consists of 8 young riders and a whole plethora of "wild animals" in tow who whisk their audience away to Madagascar on a lively and colourful adventure.
Working Equitation with the Signum Show Team
Speed, precision and harmony are the watchwords in Working Equitation. This discipline is becoming ever more popular with equestrian fans as a competitive sport. The Signum Show Team is going to be demonstrating excerpts from trail and dressage lessons that go to make up part of the Working Equitation examination repertoire. The riding style originates from the working methods used by Southern European animal herders. Irrespective of whether we are talking about going sideways through poles laid out in an L shape, over a bridge or through a gate, half passes or flying changes - the riders of the Signum Show Team demonstrate just how to master all these exercises with ease.
Mitja Hinzpeter and Macchiato
This pair already played with fire at EQUITANA 2011 in Essen, winning the Show Cup in front of around 5000 spectators with their dance routine and their fire garrocha. Once again Mitja Hinzpeter and his horse Macchiato will demonstrate in Neuss that trust between horse and rider can make a bridle superfluous, even when riding through fire. A couple that really would go through fire for one another!
